Some people like to watch the news on television. Other people prefer to read the news in a newspaper. Still others use their computers to get the news. How do you prefer to be informed about the news and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice。
首先，我们可以使用一些典型的让步信号词，如：although, though, despite, in spite of, admittedly, it is true that等来提示让步。接着，给出让步内容。如我们想要表述的观点是：prefer to get news on TV and on computer，那么我们需要先论述的是自己不同意的这个观点，即：read news in a newspaper。首先可以给出从报纸新闻的优点来作为一个让步内容，如：contain some information that’s limited to local interests等。随后即可转而论述报纸新闻的不足之处，如：take long to produce, stories could have changed, important news could have happened minutes after the newspaper is delivered等。可供接出不足之处的常用结构有：the problem associated with…is that…, the problem with…is that…, the disadvantages are…, the downside of…is that…等。
有了这一段作为铺垫，我们就可以非常自然的提出自己的观点。即，正是由于以上提到的种种问题，所以我倾向于另一种观点。要表明自己的观点，也就是告诉考官自己偏向于那种意见，在表述时，可以用I think it’s good to…, I prefer to…, in my opinion…, personally, I think…, on my part…, from my point of view等，这些相信大家已经是非常之熟悉了。随后，正如上文中已经讲到的，给出合理的有说服力的理由是非常重要的，所以在此马上要给出理由，可以用because, since, as, for, because of, due to, owing to, the reason is that, it is because等词来接出理由。
比如上面这道题让步结束之后马上就可以给出自己的观点，也就是：prefer to get news on TV and on computer，然后给出理由，如：watch the international news on TV at night for the most current information, click on one of the web sites that offer the most recent updates of the lead stories等。
最后，为了使回答完整，可以用一句话来概括一下自己这段话的中心内容，来作为有效的结尾。比如在这道题中，我们可以说：In order to stay current locally and internationally, I usually take advantage of the best aspects of all the news media。

托福口语考试task 2对考生极具挑战性的一点是，考生几乎没有深入思考的时间，在短短的15秒钟之后就必须开始说话。并且整段回答内容必须是非常具有逻辑性的一个整体，也就是说，必须在45秒钟之内给出一个由头有尾，个人观点清晰，且论证充分的完整回答。这并不是一朝一夕即可练就，而是需要我们日积月累，有较好的英语基础，并且通过刻苦练习来成的，所以我们在准备托福考试的时候，一定要坚信：Practice makes perfect。
